Cryogenic chilling systems for bulk food processing
In bulk food processing, maintaining consistent product temperatures during mixing, blending, and packaging is critical to preserving quality and extending shelf life. Traditional methods often struggle with uneven temperature distribution and process inefficiencies.
Achieve precise, rapid temperature control
The ACCU-CHILL® CBC meat mixer system by Linde is a cryogen injection system designed for continuous operations. It uses either liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide to inject the right amount of cryogen directly into the food mixture, ensuring uniform temperature control. This is essential during mixing and grinding, where heat can accelerate bacterial growth, lead to off-flavors, and spoil the product. The system’s precise temperature maintenance prevents these issues and ensures consistent dimensions and weights for formed products like patties. Additionally, the ACCU-CHILL® LXC cryogen bottom-injection system uses a patent-pending valve-nozzle assembly for rapid, precise cooling during batch mixing, while the ACCU-CHILL® combo chiller delivers consistent CO2 snow to cool bulk products evenly. These systems are automated, improving both productivity and product quality, and can be applied across a variety of poultry, seafood, and meat products.
